When I was a teenager I had a friend who liked ‘rock’. Traditional classic. She liked Clapton. I did not.
Steve Earle to me fits that sorta sound. That ‘You Look Wonderful Tonight” type twang.
The Song “Goodbye” offered for my review is pretty much the exact opposite of anything I find auditory appealing.
I don’t like twang.
I don’t like vocals that seem rasped with cotton mouth after a binge night of drinking, smoking and spitting. Soiled sheets, sweaty hairy skin.. it sounds dirty. Not sexually dirty that I can dig, more like hobo filth.
I know this ‘breakdown and cry’ stuff is supposed to make a girl swoon but it really makes me want to slap him in the face and get him to an AA meeting.
I hate Jimmy Buffet for the same reason.
Just shut the fuck up and quit whining.
Music? Well its nothing more than background music to his ‘bartender get me another’ whimper.
I admire Iman for so many reasons. Today I admire him for actually sitting through this guys set.
Its depressing, its infuriating and I cant really understand why anyone would want to listen to it.
Meh, suppose its therapeutic to some, but it disgusts me.
Maybe Ive known too many filthy bikers with beer bottles on the backseats of their Delta 88’s.
Pass.
